A Speed Dial in your toolbar, with easy set-up and keyboard shortcuts
Set up your HotList in the Bookmark Manager, access it from the toolbar in a choice of layouts and colours.
For keyboard access, the default shortcut to open the extension is Alt+B (or Command+B). To change the shortcut, paste this into the address bar: chrome://extensions/shortcuts
When the extension is open, shortcut keys (1-9 and A-Z) are available for each bookmark. Hold down the Space Bar to reveal hints.
Open multiple tabs: 1 click will open a bookmark in a background tab, but the Popup stays open. A 2nd click on that bookmark will close the Popup and activate the tab, or you can open other bookmarks instead.
Assurances:
The only automated modification to your bookmarks will be the creation of a new folder to contain those displayed by this extension, and a bookmark to get you started.
